Shuttle Goalkeeping Drill
Purpose:
To practice
various handling techniques.
Procedure: Players
line up in files facing each other approximately 20 yards apart,
with a goalkeeper in each file. Cones are placed on the end
lines to act as goals. While the rest of the players pass and
follow the ball to the back of the line, the goalkeepers field
the ball with their hands before rolling it to the feet of the
next player from the opposite side and then following across. In
this way the goalkeeper can join in a normal drill activity and
practice his own specific techniques, while the other players
practice their own particular skills.
Development:
(a)
The coach can ask players to try to push the ball past the
goalkeeper to score in the goals. The goalkeeper attempts to
dive and save the ball each time.
(b) The coach can direct
players to give specific practice to the goalkeepers, e.g. play
the ball high in the air for the goalkeeper to catch, drive the
ball hard at his chest, or attempt to dribble the ball around
the goalkeeper. |
